Need more info
I need a zipper foot for my 301, as I have to put some zippers in purses for Christmas presents. There are two different ones on ebay 161 127 and 121 877 that say they both fit a featherweight. The difference in cost is 15$. Ideas?
Also there is a 533 on Craigs List that looks to be in great shape, with a cabinet (which I don't have room for) for 75.00$ I want this to sew on because it has the free arm. Ideas here, too?
Thanks in Advance

If the zipper foot says it will fit a Featherweight, it will not fit your 301. The Featherweight takes low shank feet, and the 301 takes slant shank feet.
The vintage zipper foot I have for one of my 301s is #161166 and the other one is #160689. Look for one of those numbers and it should fit.
A Singer 533 is a stylist model, built after Singer started using plastic gears. Could be trouble if the gears are crumbling by now. I'd avoid it.
